Chapter 153: The Chess Game
Doctor Wu can really be said to be ten years old these days, not because he is tired, but because he is angry with these boys! I only went to the back of the yard to take a look at the angelica I planted, and when I came back, I saw that the boys were beating birds with small stones in the yard!
"Doctor, I'm fighting crows, go to bad luck." Li Shuofeng Zhenzhen defended himself, but he was beaten in the head by Dr. Wu!
There were many crows in the evening, Li Shuofeng felt that the wound was really itchy when it healed, and he couldn't scratch it, so he could only rub on the pillar, like a monkey, and it was not good-looking, so he could only beat the crows to relieve his boredom and divert his attention.
"You have to go, anyway, you only hurt a little flesh, since you can't be idle, go and water my grape trellis!" Doctor Wu really has no way to take this little demon king.
Seeing Li Shuofeng walking away lively, Dr. Wu added a sentence behind him and shouted: "You are not allowed to use your left hand!" ”
His voice was full of breath, and it resounded throughout the courtyard.
Su Zheng was wiping his dagger in the room, originally dragging and refusing to drink the medicine, but when he heard this voice, he hurriedly drank the medicine in front of him in one go, and lay down obediently.
In order to make it easier for Dr. Wu to grow things, he specially used bamboo to divert living water in this small world, and dug a small ditch to lead the excess water to the pool.
Li Shuofeng carried the water to the grape trellis, and poured it all in at once. He wasn't a stupid boy who didn't know anything, and ordinary plants couldn't stand such a flood of watering, but the grapes were fine.
It's a hot day, and after the afternoon sun, the grapes are very thirsty! The large bucket of water disappeared in an instant, and the sound of the grapes' roots sucking could be heard.
After watering, the leaves of the grapes appear more moisturized, and the westerly sun illuminates the entire trellis.
Li Shuofeng looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he picked a bunch of grapes that looked the fullest, only picked them and soaked them in a bucket, and ate them with relish.
Eating grapes honestly is not enough, Li Shuofeng shook the grape shelf, and felt that the pillar pile was quite firm, so he climbed up with a big grin, pointed on a pillar with one foot, and stood steadily.
The vines on which the grapes climbed swayed gently in the afterglow. Li Shuofeng stood in the evening breeze and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
After only being comfortable for a while, Li Shuofeng frowned, and he saw from a distance a woman who didn't look like a maid and a young lady who didn't look like a young lady walked over from the direction of the corner courtyard a little sneakily.
He was suspicious, so he kept staring, and saw that the woman had been coming this way, and would hide when he saw the maid.
"Sneaky, either treacherous or thief. Don't you want to go to Dr. Wu's courtyard to find out the truth? Li Shuofeng said to himself, and then flew down and waited for the woman at the gate of the courtyard.
If he was guarding the door, this woman would definitely not show up, and Li Shuofeng hid on the side.
Sure enough, it only took a short time to see this woman walking along the wall, and was caught by Li Shuofeng.
It turned out to be Chu Wei, Chu Wei was shocked, his face turned pale with shock, and he was not a spying material at first glance.
"Who are you? What is sneaky to do? "Li Shuofeng is not fierce, but a little childish.
Chu Wei stabilized his mind and felt that there was no reason to lose, so he said confidently: "I am naturally a person from this mansion, who are you?" ”
"Maid? Why did the maid come to the doctor and hide from people along the way? Li Shuofeng clasped his hands in front of his chest, stared at her, and said.
"I'm not a maid, I'm the prince's woman!" Chu Wei felt greatly insulted, his face flushed, and he said eagerly.
When Li Shuofeng heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Where did you come from a crazy woman who lost her heart, didn't she think that men wanted to be crazy?" ”
Seeing that Chu Wei was so angry that he was about to cry, he suddenly thought of something, gradually retracted his smile, and said, "You shouldn't be the person who the Cui family forced over, right?" ”
Li Shuofeng's disrespectful words made Chu Wei ashamed and angry, and she was about to refute when she suddenly heard the cold voice of the meteor, "Miss Chu, what are you doing here?" ”
"I'm not under house arrest, why can't I come?! Isn't it okay to come out to breathe and relax? You're too much of a bully! "Meteor and Chu Wei somehow don't deal with each other.
"Look, I'm just asking, why do you stretch your neck like a fighting and bark? It's still a young lady. Why can't I see it? Meteor handed the food box in his hand to Li Shuofeng and glanced at Chu Wei again.
"You deceive people too much!" Chu Wei shouted, cried and ran away.
Meteor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he frowned. She reprimanded others, but she felt a little blocked in her heart.
"You don't need to sympathize with her, this woman has ghosts." Li Shuofeng saw her contradictory emotions, spoke out, and said with relief.
Meteor walked into the courtyard with him and said, "What do you say? ”
Li Shuofeng walked into Su Zheng's room, put the food box on the table, and told the meteor what he had just seen.
Meteor carefully took out two cups of soup from the food box and said, "I'll let the water chestnut check it." ”
Su Zheng walked to the table and sat down with his clothes on, and said, "What did you two say?" ”
"Madame asked the kitchen to add tonic soup to you today, but you have to drink it well, and the medicinal herbs in it can buy a house."
Meteor took out two plates of pastries, one sweet and one salty, and returned to Su Zheng's words, saying, "You let him explain to you." I'll go back first. ”
Su Zheng took a sip of soup and said, "This girl looks at the happy noodles, but it is difficult to get along." ”
"No, it won't. Maybe I can't look down on us stinky men. Lin Shuofeng looked at the back of the departing meteor and said.
His focused look fell into Su Zheng's eyes, he laughed and said, "You shouldn't look at this girl, right?" ”
Li Shuofeng was not shy at all, he directly picked up the soup cup and took a big sip, and said, "This girl, it's a little interesting." ”
"The people around the princess, she is like a jewel, you have to respect it." Su Zheng was afraid that Li Shuofeng's flamboyant tongue would not be able to change for a while, so he said.
Li Shuofeng knew Su Zheng's thoughts, so he responded, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." ”
Meteor naturally didn't know what happened after she left, she returned to the yard, handed the food box to a little maid, and thought about telling Song Zhi about Chu Wei. But a maid who was in charge of cleaning the garden on weekdays was standing in front of Song Zhi and talking.
So the meteor was blessed and stood aside and waited.
I only heard Song Zhi say to the maid: "I know." Month by month, give her a pack of newly made mung bean cakes from the kitchen, and you can get busy. "I took the maid out month by month.
Meteor took a step forward and said to Song Zhi: "Madam, just now I went to deliver the soup, and I saw that Chu Wei had an argument with Li Shuofeng at the gate of Dr. Wu's courtyard, and later he learned from Li Shuofeng that Chu Wei was sneaky, and he hid and tucked at the door of Dr. Wu, as if he wanted to spy on something. ”
Water chestnut said on the side: "This is a coincidence. The maid's report may be the same as what you said. ”
"What did the maid say?" As soon as Meteor said this, he had a guess in his heart, and said, "Shouldn't it be someone from the Zeng family who is listening to the truth?" ”
Song Zhi took out a handkerchief of ice silk from his arms. Such a handkerchief is cold to the touch in summer, and only one piece costs ten taels of silver, even if it is in the capital, there are not many people who can use it.
She wiped the sugar stains on the palm of Man'er with this handkerchief, and said: "It's dark, it's the time to talk privately, water chestnut, you go and explore, don't let people find out, maybe, Miss Chu can still do our prince a favor." ”
The water chestnut hooked his lips and smiled, and then went to work.
Song Zhi came to the house with Man'er in her arms, and saw that Shen Baiyan, who was 'seriously injured and needed to be raised', was eating grapes leisurely, so she stuffed Man'er to him and said, "Did you hear what Fang Cai said?" ”
"I hear you." Shen Baiyan flattened a grape with a small spoon and touched it on Man'er's lips, making her sweet.
Song Zhi took a book in Shen Baiyan's hand, it was originally a chess book, Shen Baiyan was carefully looking at the page of chess games that was a little familiar, Song Zhi thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "When Daddy came back from last year, you lost three moves in chess with him, so this is remembered?" ”
Shen Baiyan rarely showed a little embarrassment, and said frankly: "I rarely lose games in chess, and it is inevitable that I will have some memories. ”
"It's not surprising that you lost a game of chess with him, he has been rolling in the sand for many years, and he is a veteran of the battlefield. Speaking of which, the last time the two of us played Go, we also played a draw. When I played chess with my father, I always lost less and won more. When he comes back and you play Go with him, you'll win. ”
The two talked and came to chess, so they let Meteor find the chessboard, Song Zhi held the white son, and Shen Baiyan held the black child. The always naughty barbarian was well-behaved at this time, sitting on Shen Baiyan's lap and watching them fall on the chessboard one by one.
Only halfway through a game of chess, the water chestnut returned.
Song Zhi didn't raise his head and asked, "How?" What do you hear? ”
Water chestnut looked at the black and white child, only felt dizzy, and said, "Two days ago, Mrs. Cui sent some things to Miss Chu Wei, and that person was brought in by Uncle Cui all the way and sent out all the way. Didn't listen to anything, didn't ask anything. Chu Wei should have received a letter from Cui's mansion, saying that he wanted to check on the prince's situation. Was it an injury? Still not hurt? If so, is it serious? ”
"As soon as I submitted the report, the Cui family clamored to visit me. I said that I was safe, and let people push it a few times, the Cui family really had a heart, and came around the corner to investigate. Unexpectedly, when I told the truth, they didn't believe it. Shen Baiyan laughed at himself, and fell behind, trapping Song Zhi's way.
"This Chu Wei has become a ready-made spy." Water chestnut snorted coldly and said.
"Then take some idea to make a show, right?" Shen Bai knocked down another son and smiled at Song Zhi.
